A numeric literal is a string of digits that SQL interprets as a
decimal number. A numeric literal can be a:
o Decimal string that consists of digits and an optional decimal
point. The maximum length, not counting the decimal point, is
19 digits.
o Decimal number in scientific notation (E notation) that
consists of a decimal string mantissa and a signed integer
exponent, separated by the letter E. You cannot embed spaces
in E notation.
The following syntax shows the format of numeric literals:
